00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.599
Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I'm

2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.600
your host, Mark for Answers. Megan Michael's new Netflix series

3
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.920
With Love Megan is once again under scrutiny, this time

4
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.039
for an awkward production revelation that's raising questions about its authenticity.

5
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:32.200
Reports claim producers had to retroactively insert questions via voiceover

6
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.679
to make the dudgess of Pinia more engaged with her

7
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.880
celebrity guests. According to sources, Meghan often spends segments of

8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.439
the show talking primarily about herself, with her friends playing

9
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.039
supporting roles in what was billed as more of a

10
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.280
two way conversation. One example cited is an episode featuring

11
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.079
actress Mindy Kayling, where Meghan leads a cooking session and

12
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.799
tells a personal anecdote about a beloved teacher, while Kayling

13
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.119
remains largely quiet until the final fifteen minutes question from Megan,

14
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.439
what kind of things did you like to do as

15
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.000
a kid? Appears only as a voiceover, suggesting it was

16
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.439
added in post production. American commentator Megan Kelly didn't hold

17
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.640
back on her podcast, calling out what she saw as

18
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.000
a lack of genuine curiosity from the Duchess. You can

19
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.239
see the break, Kelly said. It's like someone had to

20
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.560
coach Meghan on how to be a normal person who

21
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.599
has interested in something other than themselves. A royal source

22
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.359
tells page six that Meghan's a new online shopping site

23
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.760
is shameless, adding this has always been Megan's Achilles Hill,

24
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.239
applying celebrity status to the Royal family as public servants,

25
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.680
wanting to monetize her status, but blending the celebrity common

26
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.359
practice of accepting things for free with public service doesn't work.

27
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.680
A different source wondered had they lost all their money?

28
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.959
This is probably Megan's own idea. She probably got the

29
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.599
offers once she rejoined Instagram, but it's so crass. Prince

30
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.719
Williams upcoming appearance on Clarkson's Farm has sparked outrage among

31
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.879
Meghan's supporters. Wills visited Jeremy Clarkson's Deadly Squat farm in

32
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.439
Oxfordshire this week, where he met with fan favorite Caleb

33
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.960
Cooper and revealed that his son, Prince George, is an

34
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.759
avid viewer of the show. The controversy stems from Clarkson's

35
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.599
history with the Duchess of Sussex. In twenty twenty two,

36
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.879
the former Top Gear presenter wrote a highly criticized opinion

37
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.120
piece about Megan, stating he wanted her to parade naked

38
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.120
through the streets of Britain while people chant. This article

39
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:30.039
generated over twenty thousand complaints to EPSO, becoming their most

40
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.960
complained about peace ever. Though the son removed the article

41
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.919
and issued an apology in Clarkson himself stated he was

42
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.960
horrified after causing so much hurt. The Duke and Duchess

43
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.560
of Sussex dismissed these gestures as nothing more than a

44
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.560
pr stunt. Sussex supporters have taken to social media to

45
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.599
express their disappointment in William's decision. One fan wrote, shame

46
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.039
on Prince William for doing a show with Jeremy Clarkson

47
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.039
after the nasty and vile things he said about his

48
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.800
brother's wife. Another question whether William was aware of or

49
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.879
simply unconcerned about Clarkson's call for Megan to be sexually assaulted.

50
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.960
Royal commentator Richard fitz Williams tells gb News Donald Trump

51
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.840
does not want to battle with a member of the

52
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.800
royal family, specifically a battle over Harry's visa. Fitz Williams

53
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.319
explains it would be appealed through the courts and it

54
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.400
would have a huge amount of publicity. He values his

55
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.400
trips in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. He values his

56
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.400
links with the royal family. Harry is still fifth in

57
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.520
line to the throne and is still a member of

58
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.879
the royal family. That is why Trump does not want

59
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.199
that battle. For the BBC, Daniella Ralph explains how leaving

60
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.879
Center Bali will mean a lot to Harry. She tells

61
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.599
us Center Bally has been part of Prince Harry's world

62
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.439
for his entire adult life. It had ridden the storm

63
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.000
of family fallout and leaving royal life behind. And then

64
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.080
there is the Diana factor. Center Bali means forget me,

65
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.919
not in Sosotho, the language of Lesotho. Back at that

66
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.800
Center Bali dinner in twenty twenty, he told guests, when

67
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.120
I lost my mum, you took me under your wing.

68
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.639
You looked out for me for so long. The son

69
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.520
spoke to a royal insider who said, Megan wants to

70
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.840
be a billionaire. She wants a private jet, she wants

71
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.360
to live a certain life. The assumption is if you

72
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.319
marry Prince of England. Then you end up with a

73
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.360
private jet and the lifestyle she craves. But when she

74
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.120
realized William and Kate would ultimately be in charge of

75
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.399
how much they got in terms of their allowance, she

76
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.519
was saying, we got to get out of here more

77
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:29.360
palacein just a moment. Hey, comedy fans, you may remember

78
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.720
the late Mitch Hedburg. This weekend marks twenty years since

79
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.519
Hadburg passed away, and our sister podcast, Daily Comedy News

80
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.040
is celebrating the life of Mitch Hedburg with special episodes

81
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.800
this weekend. Check it out. It's toasted and written by

82
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.000
the writer of this show, John McDermott, we affectionately call

83
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.920
Johnny Mack. Check out Daily Comedy News wherever you get

84
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.519

85
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.000
her visit to the set of ITV's police and drama

86
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.920
Trigger Point in London on Thursday. Her Majesty enthusiastically to

87
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.800
charge of a clapperboard to mark the start of a scene,

88
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.240
carefully following instructions from executive producer Jed Mercurio to avoid

89
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:12.480
getting her fingers trapped before confidently announcing trigger Point Take one.

90
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.600
While touring the Brent Cross Civic Center set. The Queen

91
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.160
revealed she's actually a fan of the show, telling star

92
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.480
Vicky McClure that she's currently working her way through the

93
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.920
first series. Her Majesty appeared surprised to learn they're already

94
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.079
filming the third season, exclaiming third very popular. The Queen

95
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.759
expressed amazement of the thirty pound weight of the bomb

96
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.959
disposal suit worn by McClure, who plays explosives officer Lana Washington.

97
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.000
When military adviser Paul bidd Us mention that this was

98
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.120
actually the lighter version of a suit that can weigh

99
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.480
up to seventy pounds, the Queen responded with an impressed blimey.

100
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.160
In a royal revelation that might surprise many, King Charles

101
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.199
and Queen Camilla reportedly have a special agreement that has

102
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:57.040
helped their marriage thrive. They maintain separate country homes. According

103
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.040
to former Royal guardener Jack Stooks, who recently spoke with

104
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.399
Jeff Bett. Before Charles and Camilla got married, they agreed

105
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.519
Camilla would keep her home. The separate space was important

106
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.040
for them both and their families. While King Charles enjoys

107
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.680
his beloved High Grove house in Gloucestershire. Queen Camilla maintains

108
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.600
her independence at ray Milhouse in Wiltshire, the property she

109
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.519
acquired following her first marriage. Stooks reveals that these separate

110
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.079
residences suit their different lifestyles perfectly. Charles enjoys time alone

111
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.959
and he's got a very strong work ethic. He has

112
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.240
been known to work at his desk into the early hours,

113
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.319
while Camilla's wilt Chair home remains a sanctuary filled with

114
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.920
cherished family memories. This arrangement may be key to their

115
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:42.120
marital success. They're both independent people and don't mind time apart.

116
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.399
The fact that they don't live in each other's pockets

117
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.040
is one of the many reasons their marriage works. Stooks

118
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.800
explained in a protective gesture, the King recently purchased a

119
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.319
neighboring property along the River Avon, called the Old Mill,

120
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.519
not to infringe John Camilla's privacy, but to prevent it

121
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.199
from becoming a wedding venue or holiday rental that might

122
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.680
disturb her peaceful retreat. Unfortunately, Camilla's beloved ray Millhouse hasn't

123
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.240
escaped recent challenges. During Christmas, she revealed her property had

124
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.720
been affected by flooding from storm Bert quipping it was

125
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.160
like a seaside. You couldn't see anything apart from a

126
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.199
lot of birds sailing about on the water. There you

127
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.600
